I've checked the rules and they aren't as clear as they could have been in this case.

Thanks again

I'd go for option two, since the title is not "all caps".
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

For those that have chosen to include the ALL-CAPS in the title, here are another few examples:











So be careful what you wish for... Each of these - and I can easily supply a hundred other examples - has a combination of "all caps" and "mixed case" words in the title on the cover. For instance: as of yet, I haven't seen a single "The Curious Case of BENJAMIN BUTTON" entry in the database - and personally, I'm hoping to keep it that way... The way I read the rules, is that we always apply the standard capitalization rules to titles, disregarding whatever formatting is used on the cover.

I agree with T!M on that one - that we are to disregard cover formatting for standard capitalization rules.  The only reason I'd ignore standard capitalization is if the title on screen did not use it.

Quoting the rules:
Quote:
For English titles do not capitalize joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc. unless they are the first, last or only word of the title. "Lord of the Rings" is correctly capitalized. "Lord Of The Rings" is not. "The Matrix Reloaded" is correctly capitalized. "The matrix reloaded" is not.

    * For non-English titles, use capitalization rules common to the language of the title. “Tout va bien” is correctly capitalized. “Tout Va Bien” is not.

This means basically to use standard capitalisation for all titles in all languages except that the English capitalisation rules are given explicitly whereas for every other language knowledge/research about standard capitalisation is left to the user.

Interestingly, if you google Woola, your first result gives you;

woola - 1 definition - 1. A good cannabis joint. 2. A good bit of skunk. Origin is said to be from Wallington, London, England.


I think that explains

It isn't because you use only the first letter that it's less rude... just more childish

Coming from you it isn't really a surprise

It may not be the definition that caused you to pick the name but it's not wrong.

I have friends who talk 20 to the dozen when smoking a woola - maybe that's why!
